The recent publication of volumes about Arabic science and philosophy allows us to revisit one of the most fascinating phenomenon of the whole intellectual history – that of translatio studiorum from Athens to Baghdad, and from Baghdad to the Latin West, analyzed here through the particular lens of Avicenna’s metaphysics and psycology and al-Farab¤’s cosmology. The result is a clearer understanding of how Avicennian and Fara- bian thought creatively transformed Greek legacy to estabilish a new paradigm in the his- tory of science and philosophy.

Abstract
The recent publication of volumes about Arabic science and philosophy allows us to revisit one of the most fascinating phenomenon of the whole intellectual history – that of translatio studiorum from Athens to Baghdad, and from Baghdad to the Latin West, analyzed here through the particular lens of Avicenna’s metaphysics and psycology and al-Farab¤’s cosmology. The result is a clearer understanding of how Avicennian and Fara- bian thought creatively transformed Greek legacy to estabilish a new paradigm in the his- tory of science and philosophy.File in questo prodotto:
